The White Birch believes in music that is made like diamonds putting time and endurance into the pressing of mountains of coal into intensely focused drops of honest nature, and then polishing it with handicraft and love into a human expression of beauty to produce something that will last.
After almost three years of being a band, we've finally knuckled down
to release an album. To celebrate this momentous occasion we're throwing three parties. It would be nice to have you there.

'Another Deal' is the first single from the forthcoming Palace Of Pleasure album, scheduled for release in August/September 2008.
The single will be available as download only (iTunes etc.), but you can download it for free for a limited period at: www. myspace. com/palaceofpleasure
Yes, I managed to miss the release of the first PoP single since I joined the band (and my first single release ever!), but that's what happens when you're in the middle of the north Atlantic, running around in viking clothes. Anyway, I hope you'll follow my belated advice and check out our new tune. Download it for free and start dancing! :D
FYI: Now available through the Cult of the Blues myspace page and on trademe. co. nz: Ngati Dread, Volume 1, Footsteps of Fire. The book about how the Ruatoria Rastafarians, took Bob Marley's lyrics literally, burning and-a looting and doing their best to chase those crazy baldheads out of town. You won't have read anything like this. If you like your crime writing dark, weird and 100 percent true, you can't go past this painstakingly researched book about one of the most bizarre chapters of modern New Zealand history. Cheers, Gus
Abigail Hopkins' new album, 'The Memoirs Of An Outlaw' is available to pre-order from: www. basilicamusic. bigcartel. com The first 100 copies are signed and numbered!
Ola, du er så berømt! I just saw your name on the big screen here in Minneapolis at the Uptown Theatre tonight! Great music you put together for "Reprise"; it was a fantastic film you contributed to. And I was thrilled to hear a bit of The White Birch in the soundtrack...just casually slipped in perfectly. Veldig bra! :)
Please come play in America. Maybe join the line-up for ATP 2008 in the Catskills? My Bloody Valentine is curating it and it's gonna be AMAZING!! In September. That would be fantastic. =) Thanks.
